00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.001
[...]

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:52.000
!!! !!!

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.000
[...]

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:07.000
New horizons in a restless
search for new opportunities

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:13.001
and new ways of living the mystery
and the promise of distant

00:01:13.001 --> 00:01:18.000
horizons always have called men forward.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:28.001
First wondering, then searching, then

00:01:28.001 --> 00:01:34.000
continuing to explore, men have moved on and on

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:40.001
always to find that old horizons opened

00:01:40.001 --> 00:01:43.000
the way to new horizons.

00:01:48.001 --> 00:01:49.000
[...]

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:55.001
In a search that has continued for centuries,
some far distant view

00:01:55.001 --> 00:02:02.001
with its promise of the unseen and
its promise of the unknown has

00:02:02.001 --> 00:02:09.000
forever fathered the impulse to
seek for new things in new places.

00:02:11.001 --> 00:02:15.001
New horizons, roads for men to go places.

00:02:39.000 --> 00:03:06.001
[...]

00:03:23.001 --> 00:03:24.001
[...]

00:03:24.001 --> 00:03:30.000
The accelerating rate of men's progress
in all fields of endeavor has paralleled

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.000
closely our progress in the freedom
of movement from place to place.

00:03:36.001 --> 00:03:41.001
New things to do and new ways to do them.

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:48.001
Telephone, electric lights,
automobiles, aircraft,

00:03:49.001 --> 00:03:52.001
all are symbols of better living.

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.001
New places to go and new
means of getting there.

00:04:03.001 --> 00:04:09.001
With a growing appreciation of the wisdom
of applying the road tax monies to the

00:04:09.001 --> 00:04:14.001
road building program for which they were
designed, highway development is going

00:04:14.001 --> 00:04:18.000
on at a rapidly increasing pace.

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:35.001
Created by the crossing of new horizons,
new ways of living and new

00:04:35.001 --> 00:04:42.000
thinking have laid the foundation for most
of what is good in life today with the

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.001
promise of more tomorrow.

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:52.000
As distant families have become neighbors
and as people have constantly widened

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:58.001
their viewpoints while multiplying the
number of their contacts, more desires

00:04:58.001 --> 00:05:01.000
have developed to be satisfied.

00:05:03.001 --> 00:05:09.000
And with a demand for all of these
conveniences and improvements, opportunities

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.001
for employment of men,
money and materials have increased.

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:21.001
And thus the highways of social and
commercial developments are widening

00:05:21.001 --> 00:05:23.000
without end or limit.

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:29.001
Except the imagination,
vision of men who do new things.

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:37.001
Today, engineers are always leading us higher,
widening the trails while

00:05:37.001 --> 00:05:43.000
our men of science are broadening all
our mental avenues with new activities,

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:49.000
activities based on modern pioneering
into new fields of research.

00:05:49.001 --> 00:05:56.000
Men exploring and pioneering for all to follow,
men endlessly seeking

00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:02.001
something new along the roads of
civilization in the great unknown expanses

00:06:02.001 --> 00:06:07.000
of applied science and scientific research.

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.000
All the new highways of research and
exploration have brought to us more raw

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:21.000
materials, new raw materials,
new combinations of raw materials, new

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:26.001
and greater productivity of the soil,
making more plentiful an ever

00:06:26.001 --> 00:06:29.000
-widening range of goods.

00:06:30.001 --> 00:06:36.001
And as these goods come down from the farm,
the mine and the mill, progress on

00:06:36.001 --> 00:06:42.000
all the highways of human activity leads
us to more opportunities for employment.

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:49.000
An ever-widening range of goods
made ever more plentiful from east

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.001
to west, from north to south.

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:12.001
Our greatest strides in providing more
things for more people have been made at a

00:07:12.001 --> 00:07:17.001
time when the influence of new
geographical frontiers was about over.

00:07:17.001 --> 00:07:44.001
Mentally and physically,
we are progressing toward new horizons.

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:06.000
To help us get a glimpse into the future
of this unfinished world of ours, there

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:11.001
has been created for the New York World's
Fair a thought-provoking exhibit of the

00:08:11.001 --> 00:08:18.000
developments ahead of us, the greater and
better world of tomorrow that we in the

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:24.000
car are building today. A vivid tribute
to the American scheme of living

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:31.000
whereby individual effort,
the freedom to think, and the will to

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:38.000
do have given birth to a generation
of men who always want new fields

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:44.001
for greater accomplishment,
and we'll always find new things for

00:08:44.001 --> 00:08:46.000
all others to enjoy.

00:08:48.001 --> 00:08:53.001
Come, let's travel into the future. What

00:08:53.001 --> 00:08:56.000
will we see?

00:08:57.001 --> 00:09:04.000
And now we have arrived in this wonder
world of 1960, the World's Fair

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:10.000
exhibit modeled with such artistry and
skill that we must continually remind

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:16.001
ourselves the world we are now seeing
is a vision, an artistic conception

00:09:16.001 --> 00:09:22.001
which may undergo many changes as it
develops into the great realities of

00:09:22.001 --> 00:09:28.001
tomorrow. Sunshine, trees, hills and valleys,

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:35.001
flowers and flowing streams.
This world of tomorrow is a world of beauty.

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:44.000
These eternal things wrought by
God are lovely and unchanging.

00:09:45.001 --> 00:09:52.000
Twenty years have passed. With new
agriculture and industry, with new forms of

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:58.001
education and recreation, a new world is
constantly opening before us at an ever

00:09:58.001 --> 00:10:05.000
accelerating rate of progress.
A greater world, a better world, a

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:11.001
world which always will grow forward.
Man has forged ahead.

00:10:12.001 --> 00:10:19.001
New and better things have sprung from
his industry and his genius. Here

00:10:19.001 --> 00:10:26.000
is a modern farm.
The farmer of 1960 works in greater security.

00:10:26.001 --> 00:10:31.000
For science and research have
helped him to control many

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:32.001
of the risks of agriculture.

00:10:34.001 --> 00:10:38.000
Hours of work have been
shortened with almost universal

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.000
electrification of rural areas.

00:10:41.001 --> 00:10:47.001
Fruit trees bear abundantly under
individual glass housings. Orchards are

00:10:47.001 --> 00:10:53.001
protected against disease and insects.
Science even influences pollination by

00:10:53.001 --> 00:10:59.000
artificial feeding.
Does it seem strange? Unbelievable?

00:11:00.001 --> 00:11:07.000
Remember, this is the world of 1960
and physics and chemistry have

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:14.000
joined hands with the farmer in
helpful friendship. Here are the farm

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:19.000
roads of the community. They have been
improved and made to flow into great

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:26.000
motorways. This superb one direction
highway with its seven lanes accommodating

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:33.000
traffic at designated speeds of 50,
75, and 100 miles an hour

00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:39.000
is engineered for easy grades
and for speed with safety.

00:11:40.001 --> 00:11:46.000
Cars from the farm roads and feeder lanes
join the motorway traffic at the same

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:53.000
speed as cars traveling in the lane they enter.
Here is an aeration plant

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:57.001
purifying the lake water and
distributing it for hundreds of

00:11:57.001 --> 00:11:59.000
miles throughout the countryside.

00:12:10.001 --> 00:12:17.001
Here is a highway intersection,
highway engineering at its most spectacular.

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:26.000
Traffic may move safely and easily
without loss of speed. By means of

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:32.000
the ramped loops, cars may move safely
and make right and left turns at rates of

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:39.000
speed up to 50 miles per hour. Elevated
and depressed are the turning off lanes.

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:45.000
There is no interference from the straight
ahead traffic in the higher speed

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:52.000
lanes.
The motorist of 1960 finds this intersection

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.001
safe and efficient.

00:12:54.001 --> 00:13:00.001
The two directional traffic of the
motorway which merged at the intersection

00:13:00.001 --> 00:13:07.000
separates again.
The highway surface is automatically

00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:13.001
lighted by continuous tubing in the
highway safety curbing which evenly

00:13:13.001 --> 00:13:19.001
illuminates the road surface.
What's this just ahead? An amusement

00:13:19.001 --> 00:13:26.001
park, 1960. Man's progress has brought more

00:13:26.001 --> 00:13:33.000
leisure for amusement and recreation,
bringing them within easier reach of more

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:39.001
people.
Industrial communities have gone ahead by

00:13:39.001 --> 00:13:44.001
multiplying the conveniences and comforts
of living. Hundreds of comfortable

00:13:44.001 --> 00:13:51.000
homes for workers. All people benefited
by broadening their scope of living,

00:13:51.001 --> 00:13:57.001
gaining by advanced means of communication
and new methods of work. Here is a

00:13:57.001 --> 00:14:02.001
thriving and prosperous steel town.
Notice the furnaces glowing,

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.000
river and rolling mills.

00:14:08.001 --> 00:14:15.001
In the foreground

00:14:15.001 --> 00:14:21.001
is a model airport. The airport is an
efficient combination of motor, air and

00:14:21.001 --> 00:14:25.001
rail transportation in the world of tomorrow.

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:35.000
And now we see an enlarged section
of 1960s express motorway. Along the

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:40.000
ledge of this beautiful precipice,
traffic moves at unreduced rates of speed.

00:14:42.001 --> 00:14:49.000
Safe distance between cars is maintained
by automatic radio control. Curved

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:54.001
sides assist the driver in keeping his
car within the proper lane under all

00:14:54.001 --> 00:15:01.000
circumstances.
The keynote of this motorway, safety.

00:15:02.001 --> 00:15:05.000
Safety with increased speed.

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:14.000
This 1960 drama of transportation
progress is but a safe place [...]

00:15:14.001 --> 00:15:21.000
A symbol of future progress in every
activity made possible by constant striving

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:27.001
toward new and better horizons.
Now we see ahead a

00:15:27.001 --> 00:15:34.001
steep, challenging mountain climb.
Here we see a quiet and peaceful religious

00:15:34.001 --> 00:15:40.000
retreat, seemingly growing from the
rocks as it looks out over the lake and

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:46.001
foothills.
The slower lanes of the motorway wind

00:15:46.001 --> 00:15:53.000
in and about the foothills,
but from this light on, tunnel shunt cling to

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:54.001
the precipitous rock faces.

00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:02.001
One marvels at its complete accord with
the breathtaking scenic beauty of its

00:16:02.001 --> 00:16:08.001
route. In

00:16:10.001 --> 00:16:14.001
the end, [...]
a canal with a series of flood control knocks.

00:16:18.001 --> 00:16:24.000
And just beyond, a giant mountain
lake dam with its spillway, companion

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:29.001
buildings, and hydroelectric power plants
providing power and light for hundreds

00:16:29.001 --> 00:16:34.001
of miles around.
The motorway continues through the mountains.

00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:43.000
Without tedious travel, the advantages of
living in a small town are within easy

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:48.001
reach, bringing the people who
live there into closer relations

00:16:48.001 --> 00:16:50.000
with all the world around.

00:16:51.001 --> 00:16:58.000
Over space, man has begun to win victory.
Space living,

00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:05.001
space for working, space for a day,
all available for more people

00:17:05.001 --> 00:17:12.001
than ever before. Over a spectacular
suspension bridge, the motorway enters

00:17:12.001 --> 00:17:18.001
a large city, spanning the navigable river
on which it is situated and forming a

00:17:18.001 --> 00:17:23.001
gateway to the city. A feature of this
bridge is the elimination of congestion

00:17:23.001 --> 00:17:29.001
and the elimination of interference from
all the various converging motorways and

00:17:29.001 --> 00:17:35.001
from all the feeder roads.
And now we see a great river city of

00:17:35.001 --> 00:17:42.001
1960. 20 years ago,
the population of this city was approximately

00:17:42.001 --> 00:17:49.000
a million persons. It is much larger, rebuilt

00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:55.001
and replant.
Residential, commercial, and industrial areas

00:17:55.001 --> 00:18:02.000
all have been separated for greater
efficiency and greater convenience.

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:14.000
A vast circular airport is close to the

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:19.001
city with a giant dirigible hanger
so that it can be turned easily

00:18:19.001 --> 00:18:21.001
to meet any wind direction.

00:18:21.001 --> 00:18:25.000
It is resting in a pool of liquid.

00:18:28.001 --> 00:18:32.000
Outside is an airport with
its hangers and planes.

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:38.001
There are special facilities for handling
scenes of the inland airports of 1960.

00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:46.001
Here is an American city replanned
around a highly developed modern traffic

00:18:46.001 --> 00:18:53.000
system. The parks of the city have continuity,
proper placement.

00:18:54.001 --> 00:19:00.001
These areas are united into long green
strips surrounding each community.

00:19:03.001 --> 00:19:10.000
Along both banks of the river, beautifully

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:15.001
landscaped parks replace the
outworn areas of an older day.

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:22.000
An industrial docking basin newly built in [...
] completed takes care of all the

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:28.001
shipping from the adjacent industrial area.
On all express city thoroughfares,

00:19:29.001 --> 00:19:36.000
the rights of way have been so rooted as
to displace outmoded business sections

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:42.000
and undesirable slum areas whenever possible.
Man continually

00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:48.001
strives to replace the old with the new.
A quarter

00:19:48.001 --> 00:19:55.000
of a mile high skyscrapers tower with
convenient rest and recreational facilities

00:19:55.000 --> 00:20:01.001
for all. On many of the buildings are
landing decks for helicopters and

00:20:01.001 --> 00:20:08.000
auto gyros. Rich

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:15.000
in sunshine is the city of 1960.
The city of [...] of 1960.

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:21.001
Fresh air, fine green parkways,
recreational and civic centers.

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:32.000
Modern and efficient city planning,
breathtaking architecture, each

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:34.001
city block a complete unit in itself.

00:20:37.001 --> 00:20:44.001
Here is an important intersection
in the great metropolis of 1960.

00:20:46.001 --> 00:20:51.001
Elevated sidewalks give a new measure
of safe and convenience to pedestrians.

00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:58.000
They actually double the available
width for traffic in the street.

00:21:00.001 --> 00:21:04.001
And so we see some suggestions of the [...]

00:21:04.001 --> 00:21:09.001
Some of the things to come.
A world which far from being finished

00:21:09.001 --> 00:21:12.000
is hardly yet begun.

00:21:13.001 --> 00:21:20.001
A world with a future in which all of us
are tremendously interested because that

00:21:20.001 --> 00:21:28.001
is where we are going to spend the best
of our lives. In a future which can be

00:21:28.001 --> 00:21:48.001
whatever we propose to make it.
True, each of us may have different ideas as to

00:21:48.001 --> 00:21:55.001
what that future will be. But every
forward outlook reminds us that all the

00:21:55.001 --> 00:22:03.001
highways of all research and all communication
and all the activities of science
